Attendance
Attendance Requirements
We believe that every school day is critical. In order to set clear expectations for students and signal instruction time is paramount, we expect that all students to be present each and every day of school, beginning the first day of school.Maintaining excellent student attendance is a major focus for 2025-2026.
Students cannot learn if they are not in class.
How to Report an Absence
We want to make it as easy as possible for families to report an absence. Please choose one of the following options:
- Attendance Website – Submit an absence online through our School Absence Note. (Preferred Option)
- ParentSquare – Report the absence using the ParentSquare attendance notification that was sent.
- Doctor’s Note or Parent Note – Send a written note (paper copy) to the school’s Attendance Office.
Important: Absences must be reported within 3 school days. Doctor’s notes should include the student’s full name, date(s) of absence, and the physician’s signature. Parent notes should include your child’s name, date(s) absent, reason for absence, and parent/guardian signature.
If you have any questions, please contact your school’s Attendance Office.
